Day 1 Kos to Tilos: Quaint island peaceful and quiet with old windmills. Good kayaking and beaches near the main port of Lividia
Day 2: Tilos to Halki: Pristine crystal clear waters ideal for swimming. Nimporio, only town and harbour, maintains traditional architecture. Many beaches only accessible by boat or walking. Neat restaurants and bars. A stop at the now deserted island of Alimia is on the cards. It was used as an anchorage and observatory for the Rodian fleet. A tower was constructed that survives till today on the eastern side and was used for the construction of a Medieval Castle in 1475 by the Knights of Saint John, who had conquered Dodecanese by then.
Day 3 and 4: Halki to Rhodes: Sail along the coast and moor in Mandraki, near the Old Town, to explore one of Greece’s most spectacular forts and Old Cities., with the Knights Templar castle forming the majestic old town Winding streets in which even locals get lost – but always a bar or restaurant so not too bad. Rhodes is famous since antiquity as the site of the Colossus of Rhodes one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Day 5: Rhodes to Simi: A picturesque mountainous island with a large British expat population and an intriguing harbour. Girolas Bay only 1km from harbour is pristine.
